ZENworks 7 Linux Management – screen shots
I took some screen shots of ZLM7 in action – mainly a look at the ZENworks Control Center
Free WiFi
Columbus,OH airport has free wireless.
BrainShare Barcelona
I’m finalising my BrainShare Barcelona sessions – lots of late breaking data for ZENworks 7.
I’m re-writing the ZENworks Architecture session that was ably presented by Ron Tanner and Ty Ellis in Salt Lake City – hopefully I can get all of the information into an hour! I really want to cover the futures of ZENworks and how Novell is investing in making the transition (note – not migration) easy.
Another Microsoft Worm
I’m sitting in the airport in Denver – watching CNN and reading my mail. Simultaneously I get an email alert from my IDS showing a lot of unusual activity, also a Microsoft PR person is on CNN describing the impact of the latest worm.
This from SANS:
Another PnP Worm: W32.Zotob.E
CNN is reporting a worm outbreak which is affecting their network, ABCNews, NYTimes, as well as Capitol Hill. All statements so far make this look like a Zotob variant…
Symantec just released info on the W32.Zotob.E worm here.
Trend Micro is also released this: WORM_RBOT.CBQ
This is an exploit of a known vulnerability, and the patch is available from microsoft here: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-039
Interesting – firewall, IDS, host-based hardening – all seems to work for many people. Good practice leads to safe computing.
Microsoft Linux and Open Source Software Lab
An interesting article here – talking to Bill Hilf about Microsoft researching non-Windows server and desktop products:
Microsoft’s Linux and Open Source Software Lab serves as both a place to examine the threat posed to Microsoft products by open-source offerings and a venue for testing software from Microsoft and others that’s designed to span that divide. The lab is home to hundreds of servers and desktops that run dozens of different types of Linux and Unix.
Hilf has been pretty open about Microsofts investigation of Open Source and non-Windows technologies:
